Question

at a local dry-cleaning company,20workers can clean and press 1,200 pieces of clothing in an 8 hour shift.how many workers would be needed to press and clean 6,000 pieces of clothing in the same amount of time ( need it in 2 step equation please).

Answer 1

they'll need 100 workers...if it takes 20 to do 1200 then that means every single worker individually does 60....if u then want 6000 pieces you divide by the amount that 1 worker is able to do which is 60...and you'll get 100 in the same amount of time
